Out of the 705 cases of sexual violence reported to UNHCR since the be- ginning of the year, 434 were perpetrated by armed elements. Official UN figures shows that recorded cases of sexual violence in North Kivu soared from 4,689 cases in 2011 to 7,075 in 2012. Many more cases remain unreported. Goma : In July, confrontations between FARDC and M23 around Goma, mainly in Kibati area (17 kilo- meters from Goma) have generated population movements and around 5,000 people have moved to Goma, mainly in schools and churches. 3,444 people have already been relocated in displaced camps around Goma . On 21 August, fighting resumed between FARDC and M23 in the same Kibati area. Walikale: confrontations in Pinga between Cheka’s armed group Nduma Defence Force of Congo (NDC) and APCLS (Alliance des patriotes pour un Congo libre et souverain) between 10 and 11 Au- gust which have provoked population movements towards Malemo and Kalembe. This situation pre- vents any humanitarian access and assistance to this very vulnerable zone. MSF has suspended its medical activities in Pinga because of the deterioration of security. Walikale : confrontations in Angoa area between FARDC and Cheka’s armed group Nduma Defence Force of Congo (NDC) on 1 August, generating population movements towards Mubi, Ndjingal et Osokari. Beni (Kamango ) : from 11 July, confrontations in Kamango area between FARDC and the Ugandan armed group Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) have generated massive population movements. The multisector evaluation realized by RRMP (25-27 July) have reported 9,000 displaced households very close to the Uganda border. 1,800 households should be already returned to their original area. Some daily movements have already been observed between Nobili and the Ugandan villages close to the border.

Beni (Cantine): Presence of 1,355 displaced households in Cantine, coming from Pangoy, Kitembo, Mabutua, Camp Liberté, in Mambasa Territory (Province orientale) (22-29 July). Kitchanga (Kizimba): arrival of 850 displaced households in the spontaneous site of Kizimba. At the moment, around 2,150 households, coming from Bukombo (Rutchuru) are in this site, escaping internal conflicts within the armed group FPC in Rutchuru. South Kivu Ruzizi plain: on August 10, 11 people (including the coordinator of a TPO CFS) were put under arrest by Mai Mai Bede in Mutarule, Luberizi. The causes for the arrest are not known but could be linked to the inter- community conflict in the area. More than 800 displaced households (4,000 people) have been identified in Kasheke, Kashenya et Ndengu, Uvira Territory, coming from Kalazi et Kagogo. Shabunda Territory has become a return zone (80% of displaced people who have come back to their original zones). The majority of Shabunda Territory is still under Raïya Mutomboki armed group con- trol. Some internal conflicts within this armed group would have caused intercommunity tensions in the town of Shabunda. Since July, more than 5,000 households have left Katatwa, Musenge et Oto- bora to go back to their origin areas (Hombo Nord and Hombo Sud). In, 2,290 household are still dis- placed in Katatwa, Musenge et Otobora 3 POLITICAL, SECURITY & HUMANITARIAN SITUATION 2/3 Maniema Punia: An inter-agency mission took place in the sector of Babira Bakwame (11-18 July). This mission, organized by Maniema’s CPIA, has revealed an urgent need in terms of interventions in all the main sectors in order to assist the local population who is still suffering from the humanitarian crisis of Punia at the beginning of the year More than 1,850 people left Mutamba, 36 kilometers north-east of Punia, after the murder, on 18 July, of a person who had come to collect taxes, and the intervention of security force. They are now dis- placed in Kabongola, Ndjala, Mboko, Mulungu et Mbata villages More than 1,000 people would have left the mining site of Kitamuna (south of Punia), after the looting by an armed group on 15 July, to reach the area around Punia, Kailo and Kasese. Oriental Province Haut-Uele: Increased number of security incidents (extortions, attacks and kid- nappings) . 17 incidents have been identified, attributed to LRA and probably related to the period of agricultural harvest. The zone around Faradje has been particularly targeted. A joint operation Monusco – FARDC has taken place all over Uele Districts from 19 July to 10 August. Irumu: Insecurity persists in the area around Albert Lake (east of Irumu ), caused by the armed group called “Force de Résistance Patriotique” (FRPI). Lowa: More than 20.000 displaced people live in precarious conditions in Lowa region. Humanitarian assistance is prevented by lack of access. Ituri: Instability is confirmed in the north part of Aru Territory (Ituri) because of the activism of the armed group APLC (Alliance pour la Libération du Congo) Mambasa: the armed group led by Morgan continues with attacks and violence on the local popula- tion, generating displacement movement in the zone. Katanga Cholera epidemic: the epidemic is located in areas of endemic/epidemic heath zones of Tanganyika and Haut Katanga. For week 32, 16 cases vs 0 death were recorded.

The project exceeded all annual targets for female sex workers (FSWs) and reached most targets for men who have sex with men (MSM). This quarter (Q4), case finding rates, linkage to care, and viral load (VL) testing coverage all increased notably compared with Q3. The project continued to benefit from central TOM+ funds, which were allocated to targeted technical assistance (TA) from LINKAGES headquarters (HQ), as well as to training and seed funding to improve implementation. An index testing strategy was developed and incorporated into activities, and HIV self-testing started. Enhanced peer outreach approach (EPOA) activities and risk assessment tools were reinforced to improve reach and testing services. Additionally, LINKAGES DRC signed a subagreement with a key population (KP)/MSM-led organization (Jeunialissime), launched a community service delivery point (CSDP) with a trained nurse in Kasumbalesa, and conducted programmatic mapping in two health zones (Rwashi and Kampemba) that will be covered in FY19. 1. Summary of Key Results • 3,390 FSWs, 1,338 MSM, and 735 FSW clients were reached with HIV prevention interventions.

    THE PENTECOSTAL CHURCH IN THE CONGO/30ème COMMUNAUTÉ: ENGAGING IN POVERTY ERADICATION By Frederick Kakwata Dissertation presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Theology, at Stellenbosch University Promoter: Professor Karel Thomas August December 2014 Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za DECLARATION By submitting this dissertation electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Frederick Kakwata November, 2014 Copyright © 2014 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved ii Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za ABSTRACT Despite the excessive mineral wealth, the underground deposits of gold, diamonds, copper and cobalt and other valuable minerals in the Democratic Republic of the Congo which are coveted by many countries, the majority of the population is still destitute and lives in dire poverty. However the country itself prospered during the colonial period 1885-1960 and it became the second most industrialized state in Africa after South Africa (Petit & Mutambwa, 2005). Unfortunately it is now ranked among the world's poorest countries in the world. Since the Democratic Republic of the Congo gained independence in 1960 it has not experienced development that benefits the whole population. The country is experiencing continuing and pressing problems of poverty and human suffering. Thus the purpose during this study is to analyse the position of the Pentecostal Church in the Congo (30ème CPCO) concerning the situation of poverty in the city of Lubumbashi and to design a pragmatic approach that can assist the denomination to find ways to effectively address the problem of poverty.
